I see one group of people castigating the easy access for bad people to get guns, but I see the pro-gun people regularly voicing the straw man that all gun owners themselves are being vilified by the left. I think the NRA promotes this bunker mentality, to shift the argument away from "who should have access to guns" to "they want to take away your guns", and people eat it up. And, by effect, positions "we do want to take everyone's guns" as some outlandish position. The democrats dicked this one up a very long time ago.
